Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the value of (2 + 3i)(2 - 3i)? (2019)
  • Step 1: Identify the expression we need to calculate: (2 + 3i)(2 - 3i).
  • Step 2: Recognize that this expression is in the form of (a + b)(a - b), where a = 2 and b = 3i.
  • Step 3: Use the difference of squares formula: (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b².
  • Step 4: Calculate a²: 2² = 4.
  • Step 5: Calculate b²: (3i)² = 9i². Since i² = -1, this becomes 9(-1) = -9.
  • Step 6: Substitute the values into the formula: 4 - (-9).
  • Step 7: Simplify the expression: 4 + 9 = 13.
